You, sir, are indeed correct.

It is what it is.

Not sure if any of that is concrete yet, but that's what i've been hearing.

^^^^ This!

Even IAM still has a billboard on Camp Creek leading into the airport. Apparently public statements of displeasure and/or resistance aren't part of the "constructive engagement"'strategy.

We can do better. We need to do better.

Well, turns out they represent those guys too. If only there were a union out there that only looked after delta pilots since national isnt being national. Wait a minute......

Well said.

All eye's to SWA to run a "no RJ's here" campaign.

Or "the only airline we trust to fly you, is our own" campaign. I'll take either.

VENTURA, Calif. — A Boeing 707 military tanker plane crashed and burst into flames Wednesday as it took off from Point Mugu Naval Air Station in Southern California, injuring the three people on board, an air base spokeswoman said.

Broadcast reports showed thick black smoke and flames pouring from the light-colored aircraft after it went down at 5:25 p.m. and slid off a runway. The three on board escaped with minor injuries, air station spokeswoman Terry Reid told KCAL-TV.

She said the tanker is used for fleet operations support and transporting fuel.

A helicopter dumped several loads of water on the plane, with little immediately discernible effect.

Firefighters on the ground appeared to be letting the fire burn but were dousing the area around the tanker. The stricken plane came to a rest within a few hundred feet of the Pacific Ocean, though it was not clear if any fuel had gone into the ocean.

It’s not known where the tanker was headed at the time of the crash.

Point Mugu Naval Air Station is in Ventura County and about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Thoughts on jumpseating on FedEx? Might be doing it in June and never have done it with them.
